Analytics is one of the mainstreaming topics for the next years. As content is spread in so many sources, the need to build relevant information is now more important than ever. Pentaho, probably the most used open source Analytics tool in the market, includes a reporting tool able to mix together information from every source to provide the right view for every user. These were my motivations to start this reading.On the other hand, Francesco, who is a well-known open source developer both in Pentaho and Alfresco communities, describes in this book a detailed guide to build this kind of reports in Pentaho for Java skilled developers. Every single configuration & feature is exposed in depth and also a nice (and public) ready-to-play samples catalog is provided at GitHub. I'd wish many other books had a so extensive real material to play with.I've been developing in Java for 20 years now and I've been also writing Pentaho reports in the past. Having this book as reference, it looks like it's going to be much easier in the future... IMO, this book is a must for everyone starting to write Reports in Pentaho but it's also a useful reading for advanced developers, as it covers every topic in detail.

Very light coverage of the reporting SDK. Superficial and incomplete information about how to create and use subreports. Better than nothing, but not enough to build a cimple reporting system.
